It’s that time of the year: either you just graduated from school, frantically applying for internships, or just plain ready to amp up your resume with some solid summer experiences. But, putting yourself out there can be an intimidating process, especially if you struggle with anxiety. You’ll be swarmed with multiple concerns. Am I good enough? What will I say during the interview? And the most difficult question of all: Do I let them know right off the bat about my history with anxiety?Whether you’re applying for your first job or trying something new with years of experience under your belt, the what-if’s never quite go away. Psych2Go shares with you 6 tips for job hunting when you have anxiety:

1. Apply for jobs that match your skill set.

Think about what makes you anxious and find jobs that focus on your strengths and skills. If working in fast-paced places that involves a lot of multi-tasking and unpredictability, such as the food and beverage industry or customer service, you may want to refrain from applying. But if you’re tech-savvy, detail-oriented, and enjoy solitude, writing jobs or managing social media pages are definitely positions worth looking into.

It’s important to note, however, that we may not always get the job we initially want, especially when we’re just starting out. My first job was…

You can always start again. Clean out your social media. Create a new account for your new taste in music. Study or work in a new city. Start socialising with new people. Choose a new signature scent and style and purge the outdated parts of yourself. If you don’t like where you’re at, but you don’t know what to do about it - try starting again.

The best way to be prepared  for uncontrollable change is to just be content with what you have now.  And that’s it.  You are in the present moment.  You are alive.  You are breathing.  Everything that you have right now is good and anything else that comes to you is a bonus.   Stop waiting for tomorrow to be happy. You must start right now.

buddinglinguist:

As everyone who studies Mandarin Chinese knows there are four tones. But does everyone know the different tone rules?

Well if you don’t, I’m here to help!

1) Two third tones following each other become 2+3

Ex. 我有(wo3 you3) becomes 我有(wo2 you3)

2) Three third tones following each each other either become 2+2+3 or 3+2+3

Ex. 小姐好(xiao3 jie3 hao3) becomes 小姐好(xiao2 jie2 hao3)

3) The Half Third Dip 

If a third tone is followed by a syllable/character that is not a third tone, it must be pronounced shortly. Roughly half the time it takes to pronounce a full third tone. 

It becomes more of a short falling tone. 

Ex. 好吃(hao3 chi1), think of how you’ve heard it pronounced or have someone pronounce it for you, the chi1 is more audible, right?

4) Selected Character Tone Change

一(yi1) one 七(qi1) seven 八(ba1) eight 不(bu4) not

When 一 is before a fourth tone syllable/character it is pronounced as a second tone. When before a first tone syllable it is pronounced fourth tone. 

Ex. 一定(yi1 ding4) becomes 一定(yi2 ding4)

      一天(yi1 tian1) becomes 一天(yi4 ding1)

不 becomes second tone when before a fourth tone

Ex. 不是(bu4 shi4) becomes 不是(bu2 shi4) 

      不要(bu4 yao4) becomes 不要(bu2 yao4) 

When followed by a syllable other than a fourth tone 不 remains a fourth tone.

The words/characters 七(qi1) and 八(ba1) may be pronounced as a second tone when they precede a fourth tone. 

Ex. 七次(qi1 ci4) becomes 七次(qi2 ci4) 

      八月(ba1 yue4) becomes 八月(ba2 yue4) 

That’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by!

The main purpose of this fun simple exercise is to help you become more aware of your surroundings and incorporate gratitude into your daily routine.

It will also help you to be mindful when you’re anxious.

To complete the exercise, answer these three questions:

• ROSE | Daily High – What was the “high point” of your day?
• THORN | Daily Low – What was your “low point” of the day? Importantly, what could you improve upon for next time?
• BUD | Tomorrow – What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

By reflecting on the highlights and low points of your day, you start to realize that:

• There are always things to be grateful for.
• Sometimes things won’t go according to plan and that’s ok.
• There are events you can and cannot control. The true wisdom lies in knowing the difference and taking action on those things you CAN control.
• There is always room for improvement.
• Mindfulness is like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the more developed it becomes.

You can do this exercise with friends, family members or solo, at the end of your day and transition into downtime. If you prefer a ritual in the morning, you can try it when you first wake up and apply it to the previous day’s events.
